Zhang Lexuan and Wu Ming sat on one side, and Xu Zihuang and Ye Liu sat on the other side.
In front of senior sister Zhang Lexuan, Ye Liu seemed a little restrained. On the contrary, Xu Zihuang had always been calm.
Wu Ming, who was sitting next to Zhang Lexuan, kept his eyes on Xu Zihuang.
"Sister Wu, what's the matter?" Xu Zihuang asked politely.
Wu Ming did not hide her thoughts and said cheerfully: "I'm wondering how you reached level 40 at the age of twelve. Even the senior senior sister at the time couldn't do it."
Xu Zihuang chuckled lightly.
"Maybe it's because my talent is better."
His tone was very calm, as if he was stating a fact, without any intention of boasting about himself.
Wu Ming was speechless and choked for a moment, and looked at Zhang Lexuan next to him.
Over the years, Xu Zihuang was the first one who dared to say that she had good talent in front of them. But it was the truth. At least her talent in cultivation was far inferior to Xu Zihuang's.
As for its strength, it remains to be seen.
Zhang Lexuan smiled gently.
"Jade Junior's talent is indeed better than mine."
"No?" Ye Liu, who was beside Wu Ming and Xu Zihuang, said almost in unison.
In the eyes of all the inner courtyard disciples, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan is someone they look up to. She is already a Contra-level powerhouse before she is thirty years old.
Even if Yu Tianhuang breaks through to level 40 when he is twelve years old, it is still unclear what the future will be like. There are many examples of some soul masters who have exhausted their potential in the early stage and have insufficient power later on.
The further a soul master reaches the later stage of cultivation, it will be extremely difficult to improve each level of soul power. Only at this stage can one better judge a soul master's true potential.
What they didn't expect was that Zhang Lexuan admitted this in person. They knew the character of this senior sister very well, and there seemed to be something more in their eyes when they looked at Xu Zihuang.
During the conversation between the four of them, Chu Qingtian also came back holding round and plump red-purple fruits. He first respectfully gave a few to Mr. Xuan, and then came to the side of everyone.
It was like offering a treasure to pick the biggest fruit for Zhang Lexuan.
"Senior Sister, please try it. It has been cleaned."
"Thank you." Zhang Lexuan took it with a smile and took a light bite.
Then Chu Qingtian distributed them to everyone one by one.
Wu Ming glared at Chu Qingtian fiercely.
"I want to choose myself."
"You pick, you pick." Chu Qingtian couldn't afford to offend this aunt.
Xu Zihuang took in the scene in front of him. From the memory of his previous life, he knew that Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian later came together through the Poseidon Fate Blind Date Conference.
But now it seems that there should have been signs.
Along the way, Wu Ming always targeted Chu Qingtian intentionally or unintentionally. This was not out of disgust, but perhaps because he wanted to attract Chu Qingtian's attention. But this approach was a bit clumsy.
Chu Qingtian should have figured out what Wu Ming was thinking, and was just pretending to be dumbfounded.
In a flash of thought, Chu Qingtian also handed Xu Zihuang a piece of fruit.
After reaching level 40 in soul power cultivation, one can barely be called a high-level soul master. With everyone's strength, coming all the way from Shrek Academy will naturally not consume too much of everyone's soul power. Half.
After an hour of rest, everyone allowed themselves to return to their peak state.
Zhang Lexuan's expression also became serious at this time.
"The previous introduction should give you a general understanding of other people's abilities. Now I will simply allocate our formation after entering the Star Forest. I will explore the way in front, and Ye Liu and Chu Qingtian will be in charge of the left and right wings respectively. Ming'er will take the rear.
I’ll leave the task to you. And Junior Brother Yu, you are the only control-type soul master among us, you will be the central control, is there any problem?”
From the corner of Zhang Lexuan's eyes, she caught sight of Mr. Xuan who was still leisurely eating chicken legs and drinking wine, with a hint of darkness in his beautiful eyes.
It was because Elder Xuan had an accident with them in the core area of the Star Dou Forest that he had been blaming himself to this day.
Returning to the Star Forest reminded her of those memories that were deeply engraved in her mind. But the difference was that her strength had made a fundamental leap compared to before.
She won't allow such a tragedy to happen again.
"Mr.
I don’t want this to happen. Okay, if everyone is fine, then we’ll set off.”
No one raised any objection to Zhang Lexuan's arrangement.
In fact, among a team that hunts soul beasts, the mission behind the scenes is the most dangerous, because they may be attacked by soul beasts from three directions at any time.
However, with Mr. Xuan following everyone, it was still different from the normal situation.
Although Mr. Xuan said he would not take action unless it was absolutely necessary, he could not sit back and watch their lives being threatened.
Taken together, the one who is under the greatest pressure is actually Zhang Lexuan, who is exploring the way.
This is the second time Xu Zihuang has entered the Star Forest. However, this time Zhang Lexuan is leading the team, so there is no need to carefully explore. He just simply and directly moves forward at full speed.
Her body shone with a layer of crystal white light, and wherever she passed, a path was opened in the bushes on the ground. And the strong aura released from her body made the low-level soul beasts not dare to get even closer. The speed of travel
It will be faster naturally.
This is strength, relying on strength to push forward. Every time they move forward for an hour, they take a short rest for a quarter of an hour. When the sky is getting dark, judging from the strength of the cultivation of the surrounding soul beasts, they have passed the outer zone and begun to enter the mixed zone.
District.
"Everyone, maintain your formation. Pay attention, it is time to enter the mixed zone now." Zhang Lexuan slowed down. Entering the mixed zone, the main soul beast they will face will become a thousand-year soul beast, or even a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
Soul beast. This is already an existence that can pose a threat to everyone.
Xu Zihuang's eyes had long since turned bright gold, and the complex and obscure strange patterns in the center of the eyes gave people a mysterious feeling.
Chu Qingtian, who was on the right wing and was alert to any unusual movements around him, happened to turn his head and saw Xu Zihuang's greatly changed Shuangtong, and lost his voice.
"Is this using the martial soul without releasing the soul ring?! It's so hidden, Senior Brother Yu!"
After all, he was a disciple of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, and he understood the methods used by Xu Zihuang at a glance.
"What?" Ye Liu and Wu Ming also looked over in surprise.
Using a martial soul without releasing a soul ring requires a soul master to have extremely high control over his own martial soul. Among the people, only the senior sister Zhang Lexuan can do it. Even Wu Ming is still a little behind.
And at this moment, Zhang Lexuan's voice suddenly sounded from the front, but there was a hint of reprimand in the gentle voice.
"Ming'er, Yeliu, don't be distracted! A soul beast is coming from your direction."
There was a flash of light not far away, and a green figure appeared silently on a branch about thirty meters away from them. It was a civet cat nearly half a meter long, with blue-black hair all over its body, and a pair of purple eyes.
Red, with a fierce look. The blue-black color on the body is uneven, and there are some faint tiger skin patterns.
When Zhang Lexuan spoke to remind him, the tiger demon cat had already pounced towards him like a bolt of blue lightning.
The tiger demon cat is a very aggressive spirit beast. Judging from the size of the tiger demon cat in front of you, it has at least nearly five thousand years of cultivation. It has the word demon in its name because it is a
It is a soul beast with dual attributes of wind and darkness. This is also the reason why its attack power is so powerful.
The two front paws popped out. The blue-black hair emitted a halo that was not bright but was like water waves.
As if it could sense the strength of everyone, its body jumped out in the air, turned around on its own, bypassed Wu Ming and rushed towards Yeliu.
In a panic, Yeliu quickly released his martial spirit, and a pair of wings as white as snow appeared out of thin air from behind, making his well-proportioned figure a little more elegant.
But this elegance quickly disappeared due to his panicked movements.
Seeing the tiger demon cat approaching him, strange dark red ripples suddenly enveloped the body of the tiger demon cat. A red light flashed, and before it could react, it was already reflected in the darkness with a magnificent halo.
Wrapped in red crystal.
"Broken." Xu Zihuang's calm voice sounded, and this powerful soul beast with a cultivation level of nearly five thousand years suddenly turned into debris all over the sky. Only the faint purple light was left, which gradually turned into a luxurious and bright purple soul ring.
.
After coming back to his senses, Ye Liu breathed out a sigh of relief and looked gratefully at Xu Zihuang beside him.
"Senior Brother Yu, thank you for your help."
Although he has level 60 soul power, his martial soul is not very good at fighting. Even when facing the tiger demon cat with a thousand years of cultivation, if Xu Zihuang hadn't come to his aid, he would definitely have suffered a big loss.
"Senior Ye, you are very polite. We are now a team and we should help each other." Xu Zihuang said sincerely with a gentle smile on his face.
Ye Liu was moved for a while.
"Okay. If you need my place in the future, just say it."
Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian, on the other hand, stared in disbelief at the three purple soul rings that were beating around Xu Zihuang.
"Three thousand-year soul rings?!"
What shocked them was not only the three thousand-year soul rings of Xu Zihuang, but also the weird and powerful second soul skill that he had shown previously.
Killing a soul beast with a cultivation level of nearly 5,000 years in one move. Is this really something a level 40 soul master can do?
Only now did they finally understand the meaning of Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan's words.
The first soul ring is at the thousand-year level. Such a genius really cannot be ignored by common sense.
Wu Ming quickly reacted, clasped his hands together, and apologized to Zhang Lexuan: "I'm sorry, senior sister, I was distracted just now, and I won't do it again."
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly.
"As seniors in the inner courtyard, you should not behave worse than the juniors in the outer courtyard."
Everyone lowered their heads in shame. If it was normal, they would definitely not behave so badly, but the talent and strength displayed by Xu Zihuang were far beyond their understanding, and they were too surprised.
Zhang Lexuan did not reprimand the three people anymore, but solemnly said: "Start horizontal search now."
At the same time, Wei Wucha nodded. With her strength, she had actually discovered the tiger demon cat a long time ago.
The reason why he didn't take action was, on the one hand, to give Wu Ming a long memory. On the other hand, he also wanted to test Xu Zihuang's reflexes and practical experience.
Facts have proved that Xu Zihuang's excellence is not just in the speed of cultivation.
Even Mr. Xuan, who was secretly observing everyone, stopped chewing the chicken drumstick in his mouth and sighed with relief.
"This child can enter our Shrek Academy, which is really a blessing to the academy."
Everyone moved forward and expelled several soul beasts that were not suitable for fusion. Everyone had gone deeper and deeper into the mixed zone. However, because they were searching horizontally, they kept a sufficient distance from the core area of the Star Dou Forest.
Among all the four areas of the Star Forest, the largest ones are the outer area and the mixed area. The core area is much smaller. Of course, the soul beasts living in the core area are also extremely powerful.
.How can a soul beast enter the core area without some knowledge?
The distribution of strong inside and weak outside in the Star Dou Forest also makes sense. The further inward, Xu Zihuang can feel the richer the breath of life in the air. And this breath of life is very beneficial to any living creature.
of.
Now, the sky has completely darkened. As night enters, the roars and roars of spirit beasts can be heard from time to time, as well as the chirping of insects and birds that surround the place from time to time.
Along the way, Wu Ming fully explained what the aesthetics of violence are. Most of the spirit beasts that actively attacked them were dealt with by her.
Moreover, the soul beasts she took care of had an extremely miserable fate. The corners of Chu Qingtian and Ye Liu's mouths twitched as they watched.
"Let you attack me?! Let you attack me?!" Wu Ming, with a frosty face, crushed the burnt blackened bones with his feet. From the appearance, it seemed to be the skull of some kind of soul beast.
Chu Qingtian, who was standing next to Xu Zihuang, couldn't help but open his mouth.
"It's so cruel."
"Chu Qingtian, what did you say?!" Wu Ming raised his head fiercely.
Chu Qingtian looked uncomfortably and hooked Xu Zihuang's shoulder with his right hand, saying in a dry voice.
"I'm chatting with Senior Brother Yu." At the same time, he gestured wildly to Xu Zihuang from a perspective that Wu Ming couldn't see.
Xu Zihuang nodded knowingly.
Zhang Lexuan glanced at the sky through the gap in the canopy, and said solemnly: "We should have entered the middle of the mixed zone now. Night is not conducive to traveling, so just rest here today. Ming'er, go and deal with this area.
one time."
After hearing Zhang Lexuan's instructions, Wu Ming stopped arguing with Chu Qingtian and walked in the direction pointed by Zhang Lexuan.
This is a relatively high-lying place, still surrounded by shrubs.
In the interior of the Star Dou Forest, it is common to have a meal and sleep in the open. And this time is likely to last for a long time. After all, if you want to meet a suitable soul beast, it mostly depends on luck.

According to my original outline, I should directly ask Mr.
The plot of the big forest was conceived by me a few days ago and is completely current. Therefore, the archived manuscript cannot be used and the update may be delayed. Of course, the subsequent archived manuscripts and the plot are completely connected. I should be able to finish the fourth soul tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
